In today's San Francisco Examiner, reporter Chris Roberts and his editor have pulled a "Matier and Ross" on me. They've cribbed from someone else's initial work, omitted it from their story and give readers the false impression that Roberts is presenting original reporting. That's the definition of pulling a "Matier and Ross".

By the way, in my reporting on the Chiu junket to Israel, I cited reporting from the Chronicle and linked to their story because I believe in giving credit to the paper in this situation since it was simply the right thing to do.

I'm over how the Chronicle and now the Examiner lack ethics when cribbing the work of bloggers and am glad to have this blog to take bad reporters to task when need be. Ethics and San Francisco's dailies? Lemme know when the papers develop ethical standards for the blogging age because they sure as hell don't have them now.
